Excellent staff with a simple but nice breakfast buffet.
Pros:

Excellent location

Cons:

Exceptionally hot and uncomfortable during summer month as on 3rd floor with no window or air conditioning

Amsterdam is een leuke stad, Max Brown voor mij geen 2e keer
Pros:

De locatie en de entree zag er gezellig uit

Cons:

Kamer was overboekt, het alternatief was een kamer zonder uitzicht, geen airco en matige bedden.
Ontbijt minimaal taaie broodjes weinig beleg zeker niet uitgebreid.

Great location, impossible stairs
Pros:

The location was amazing. Very central and we could walk to everything.

Cons:

The access to room. Unbelievably small tight winding staircase. We stayed on 4th floor with 2 sets of almost unusable access stairs. Room was very small and didn't have ac.

Pros:

excelente ubicación, muy buena atención, no habían considerado mi petición de camas separadas pero pudieron solucionarlo. La nueva habitación que me asignaron no era de las mejores, pero una noche estuvo bien

Cons:

si hubiesen considerado mi solicitud al asignar la habitación desde el principio hubiera sido excelente

One night layover in Amsterdam
Pros:

Nice little hotel by the canal with good location. Beautiful neighborhood but short walking distance to the Dam and the Central Station. Very friendly staff. Our room (bigger room for 4 people) had also AC, I understood that the other rooms probably don't. Breakfast was also good for the price as Amsterdam is an expensive city in all aspects, so good value for the money.

Pros:

Staff were great, location great, right on the canal.

Cons:

It is an older place with smaller rooms and no air con. It was warmer weather when we stayed there, so air con would have helped a lot at night. We opened windows, but there are no screens and so mosquitos were a bit of a problem being so close to canal.

Konumundan Dolayı mutluyduk
Pros:

Odanın temizliğini ve konumumu beğendim Merdivenler çok tehlikeliydi Girişteki karşılama iyiydi klima yoktu Ön cephe olduğu için memnun kaldım

Cons:

Kahvaltı yetersizdi haşlanmış Yumurtalar çiğ olarak konmuştu kahvaltıda Esmer Bayan ön büro umursamadı Merdivenler Çok Tehlikeliydi

Buena ubicación!
Pros:

La ubicación es excelente, estás en lindo canal y cerca de todo. El desayuno es básico pero muy bueno. Tiene buena presión en la ducha.

Cons:

Si bien elegimos el cuarto pequeño, es incómodo y hace mucho calor, no circula el aire. El baño también es muy chico.
